Following his run on the hit show, the Queens native remained a fixture on TV, appearing on Men of a Certain Age (2009-2011), Parenthood (2012-2015), Vinyl (2016) and Get Shorty (2017-2019).
Romano also voiced Manny in the Ice Age film series and appeared in the The Big Sick (2017) and Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman (2019) and more recently, Pete Davidson’s Bupkis (2023).
With wife Anna Scarpulla, he has four children.
02 Patricia Heaton as Debra Barone

After Raymond’s end, she joined Kelsey Grammer on Back to You (2007-2008) before finding a new home as an overworked mom on The Middle (2009-2018).

Like his costars, Garrett scored several Emmy nominations and took home three trophies.
Following Raymond, he appeared on ‘Til Death (2006-2010) and a handful of other series, including Single Parents (2018-2020). He’s done a fair amount of voice work for Disney, too, though he’s just as known for his stand-up.
